I wanted to thank "SpacemanSpiff", who actually perfectly answered the question, by helping me discover a wonderful website called Google.
Though I'm using it in french (not the 5th link for me...), I was able to find a website listing the requirements of DirectAccess. The rest of the article is also very interesting.
The following list of DirectAccess requirements comes directly from Microsoft TechNet:
- One or more DirectAccess servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 with two network adapters: one connected directly to the Internet, and a second connected to the intranet.
- On the DirectAccess server, at least two consecutive, public IPv4 addresses assigned to the network adapter that's connected to the Internet.
- DirectAccess clients running Windows7.
- At least one domain controller and DNS server running Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
- A public key infrastructure (PKI) to issue computer certificates, smart card certificates, and for NAP, health certificates.
- IPsec policies to specify protection for traffic.
- IPv6 transition technologies available for use on the DirectAccess server: ISATAP, Teredo, and 6to4.
- Optionally, a third-party NAT-PT device to provide access to IPv4-only resources for DirectAccess clients.
At least no protocol nor cabling limitations.
